Feeling Confused

As soon as you close your eyes A shadow of a hand pulls you into darkness The darkness that was once your memories The blade of the sword through your heart The dark red sight of blood flowing out You watch helplessly as the memories replay as you scream The sign of weakness within all of those drops of tears All the hopes and dreams appear out of the shadows Suddenly, the sword cuts through until only ash is left Hopes, dreams, and wishes of sparkles in your eyes fade with terror Much of the happiness is finally replaced with despair Still there is a cold blue fire that remains deep within your heart Even though the thought of dropping everything will collapse your already weak body You want to reach for the star that is beyond where you stand The star that shows who you truly are and who you will become Instead your spirit shows the different path that you take than the others The path that has unbearable pain and sorrow mixed with the happiness of joy and laughter Your heart flows like the slow, calm, relaxing river in the forest When decisions are hard, it comes down to your heart to decide You are different from the rest of the world and need to believe Miracles can let your dreams soar if you believe in them As you reach out to reach for that silver star again You shatter the glass that held you back because it came from your greatest supporters

i love how you used second person as if the narrator is the person witnessing everything. It made everything seem very personalized, even though it wasn't in first person. great! keep writing Callie!!!
